awesauce! He is so cute-I am tempted to find one of my own, but fearful that he might end up in Chicken's room never to come out again. (its were all the cute stuffed type holiday decorations go...to apparently die or something because I never see them again)

My MIL gave the Elf to us the year, and the kids latched on immediately to "Fredder". My only problem is remembering to move him at night. The kids were starting to worry when he didn't fly for three nights in a row! (I told them it was because they weren't sleeping in long enough, and he was a afraid he wouldn't get back from the north pole in time). :-)

Chazz Star! LOVE it! Who came up with that name? My cousin is very good friends with the author. My mother had my cousin get the booked signed for us by the author. Currently "Kevin" is hiding in our Christmas tree. I think that is the best hiding spot he has been in so far! I'll let you know if Sydney finds him!

Our elf showed up last year. It took me several hours to remember where I put him when I wanted to get him out Thanksgiving night. The kids have so much fun looking for him...and I love that the book tells them they can't touch him. (Although I wonder what happens if he falls or gets bumped from his perch? I worry about these things!)

It's funny because I have a post scheduled next week for the Midwest Parents blog about our elf!

Hey-we have a fun little thing we do with a snowman here at our house. He's actually a tiny little ornament-only an inch or two high. He moves around the house (banned from the bedrooms 'cause we'd NEVER find him again) because we all take turns "hiding" him. Upon being found, that person gets to hide him again for someone else to find and so on. My kids LOVE this! We have one more rule-he can't go behind anything-he has to be in full view without having to move anything. (You'd be surprised at how hard it is to still try and find him sometimes!) It's just a thought to incorporate one more fun tradition at your house. Have fun!
